Pinkedge Bonnet
These bonnets may be scattered or fruit at times in vast miniature forests beneath pine, in this case Pinus contorta. They are one of several Mycenas with a distinct bleach odor. The caps are translucent-striate when moist, convex, or bell-shaped and may be umbonate. They are gray-brown, with a lighter margin that is entire or somewhat scalloped. The caps are striate, and may be sulcate or wrinkled in age. The gills are adnate, close to subdistant, pale gray-white, with a pinkish edge that is difficult to see without a hand lens. No other species with a bleachy odor is marginate. The rather fragile and hollow stipes are tallish, 5-6 cm, concolorous with the cap, paler towards the apex and somewhat pruinose. The spore deposit is white. Edibility is not known, but hardly worth considering.
